If the Wolves were comfortable at the break, their nerves were jangling just 10 minutes after the restart following a trio of quickfire Rovers tries - Maurice Blair, James Donaldson and Chris Atkin crossing.

But Warrington would not be denied and back they came. After a tight quarter of an hour, Tom Lineham sparked another frantic spell, his try followed by efforts from Stefan Ratchford and Ryan Atkins.

Danny McGuire closed the gap five minutes from time, but the Wire saw out a comfortable victory to move level with second-placed Wigan Warriors in the table.
